Description
Hi, we are a friendly family of four looking for an extra pair of hands helping out around the house with general household duties and doing some odd tasks around the house, such as gardening, minding chickens etc. We live in the countryside, in a lovely community with lots to see in the area. A short walk to the bus to Galway city which is 25miles. We will take couples travelling together. Looking forward to hearing from you.
